Graphic Design Forum :: RE: Xerox DocuColor 250 - Color Issues
The easiest problem to fix is the RGB or "Rich Black". This is a correction that can be made in Acrobat with PitStop Plug-In. There is an PitStop action that can do this automatically and you can have that as a problem that is found and fixed automatically in a few clicks. Use PitStop to check and repair this problem. Humidity, Temprature of environment must be controlled in the print environment. A color test form can be run at each shift and checked agains same from previous day, from other machines.

Prepress Software :: RE: Recommended ink level

Prepress Software :: RE: Recommended ink level
Hi Jim, Thanks for these insights. It is a point; how inks are absorbed into the paper makes a real effect on the end result; in your example, perhaps the mix of 3 inks was approaching the original 200% coverage, and yet it worked best. I've noted a few references to GCR techniques for higher-absorbency stock. It is something to keep in mind. All the best, Nick _ Phantasm CS - the essential Adobe Illustrator color plugin www.phantasmcs.com - Read More at This Link..

If it is a 4 color Heidelberg Speedmaster with all the bells and whistles, then it can hold the ink better than a 1965 4 color ancient press. The pressman makes a difference too.

In this case, Omega, that's the point. We put a gif version of all of the ads from our newspaper up on our website. To update on this, I found exactly what I needed. Under File &gt; Scripts &gt; Image Processing you can use that to convert an entire folder of PDFs (or every other image type for that matter) into JPGs, TIFs, or EPSs. But you can also run an action on them before it converts. In that action I have the PDF being rasterized (with no import options dialogue box), resized to 725 px wide, 72 dpi, RGB, then Save for Web. The only slight drawback is that it HAS to create a folder of either JPG, TIF or EPS. But... - Read More at This Link..

Graphic Design Forum :: 3ds Max Resources
In this new 3d Studio Max tutorial, we are going to create a childís tricycle. This is going to give us lots of practice with such things as the Loft modifier, Boolean operations, and much more besides. Before we begin though, it is extremely important to visualize what the end result will look like. In the following sections you will find a step by step tutorial about how to make an old poster. You can create such an image either from scratch. Follow the step by step instructions for more details........ Modeling a childís tricycle - Read More at This Link..

Prepress Software :: Acrobat scanning. Custom page size?
In Acrobat Pro (on XP) I'm given a set list of paper sizes that I can scan at. But I'd like to set my own size when I'm scanning booklets. I've searched for how. I've found stuff on altering the size when output, but I'd rather start with the size I need. At least there should be Registry values I can change for one of the given paper sizes. - Read More at This Link..

Prepress Software :: looking for help with automation solution in Photoshop
Hi All. I'm back again with another round of questions. Of course, any help or advice is greatly appreciated. In yesteryears, our company sent out a Photoshop droplet that opened a folder full of PDFs, rasterized them, saved as GIFs, and closed without saving. Unfortunately, it only ran in PS 4. With the advent of PS 6 and 7, they sent out instructions for making this droplet workable in those 2 versions. Now we're up to CS3, and the droplet does not work. I've tried to make my own versions of it, but it tries to save the files with the same file... - Read More at This Link..

The reality is that several printers use windows machines and have bought software to impose material on plates or otherwise. They use PC's. The bulk of prepress material is nowadays pdf-material. It is good to check your material on a PC, read it in acrobat for sometimes there may be hick-ups between the two platforms. Publishers complain sometimes it does not work at it supposed to be working. But if I really had a say, I would say mac os x is more friendlier to do design-work. It is thanks to adobe and its tools the gap has been closing, though the keys work differently under windows.... - Read More at This Link..

For this task we use an Acrobat Pro plugin: &quot;Quite a Box of Tricks&quot;, from Quite Software. http://www.quite.com/box/ It's very good at RGB to CMYK. Almost an on-the-fly process. Uses, I believe, the sRGB space as the conversion point, though I'm no expert on this. With virtually all the RGBs we get, it does a perfectly adequate job, and well. Plus it's not very expensive; certainly compared to other more fully featured PDF editors. It does a few other things as well, like shrinking PDFs for emailing/proofing.

Make sure that whoever you choose to host your site has a phone number and e mail, otherwise, when issues arise...such as your site being down, e mail not working, etc...you may be waiting days for support.

Hello, The way you are doing it is a method that may (usually) work but only with very simple files. So, what I do is always make the file into an PDF, then an EPS, that (always) works. Quark Xpress prefers an EPS or Tiff over anything else. (1) What you do is print the file from MS Excel to Distiller, be sure color PDF settings are set to CMYK so that you don't come out with an RGB file.

the sneaky try is to only have 6 running if you insist on a double click it'll have a go at opening - if its a 7 file it will tell you that 6 is poo and the file was made in a more recent version of poo _ expertise: nothing - Read More at This Link..

Here are the steps: Create your text object Select the text object by double-clicking it Click on the Type menu and choose Create Outlines If you want an outlined effect after converting the text object to outlines, use the color controls in the toolbox to set a stroke color and set the fill to nothing. _ Timothy Boyden Network Administrator MailCoups, Inc.

Desktop Publishing :: EPS problems converting from Quark 7 to 6

Desktop Publishing :: EPS problems converting from Quark 7 to 6
Having really annoying problems with EPS files in Quark 7. I have a file with a cutter guide in 7, then down-save to 6 and then open the file in quark 6 to check it's ok. Quite often the eps file has re-sized itself and gone out-of position. Its background often goes white too, but there's no actual white background on the eps file. The problem also happens using Markztools when converting to version 4. No one on the Quark site seems to have any suggestions so wondered if anyone here would know. Thanks - Read More at This Link..

Graphic Design Forum :: RE: QUARK V INDESIGN
I've been using InDesign for a couple of years now and always use it instead of Quark 6 - much prefer the Adobe interface and integration with the other Adobe products and the fact that I can use alpha transparency, drop shadows etc within the app. Quicker and easier. - Read More at This Link..

Prepress Software :: RE: Quark 7-6.5 issue
Mine seem to try to open in the version that was opened first on my computer. So if I started working in quark 6 and then open 7 if I just double click on a doc it will try to open in 6. - Read More at This Link..
